Inspiration ... Asia Contemporary Art Show

Contemporary art is something that only intelligent genius, prodigy could understand (You can say that I am so stupid that I have no idea what art is XD ). But, it's still fun and cool to enjoy some artistic events like this.
Normally, we see the art in the gallery or museum. This time, the art show conquered several floor in Hotel Corad. Each room represented one booth. Holding a drink, we pumped into the room, talked to the promoters and enjoyed, enjoyed... That's how it was. Drums on....... Now take a look of some more pieces.

Some of the pieces were marvelous. One amazing piece was "Obama-Mandela". Totally fantastic!! Looked from the right, it is Obama. Looked from the left it is Mandela.

However, it's rare for me to understand contemporary art. Promoter said " You can really feel the energy from the painting. The power, the creativity ... The artist of this painting is really determined. Most of her clients are the corporate managers...... ( and blah blah blah)". I was like...... What the hell is it? Where is the energy and power?? (see the painting below)

At the end of the art show, I had a conclusion. Everybody can be an artist! It doesn't require you brilliant techniques. All you need is your bullshitting skills. Certain level of marketing absolutely makes your art works better and better. (Of course, if you are determined to be a great artist ever/ true artist, you certainly need great skills. No pain, no gain!)

Maybe... art is something we do not need logical mindset to understand. It is something more related to perception, feeling, philosophy...... 

We found Graffiti in Berlin

I fall in love with Berlin. It's not only because of its unique historical background, heritage, the crazy party people, the mixed nationality, but also the graffiti!

Really, you could see graffiti EVERYWHERE! It is only allowed to paint graffiti in a FREE CITY! That's why seldom do we see some great piece on the streets in HK. All in all, I am not living in a free city.

What if CY and Henry see the picture below?

Everybody should love Berlin! I could see that the pursuit of freedom does make them succeed. What about us?

中國。嫁娶

去了首都博物館,
(去前最好上網預約拎TICKET, 因為每日只限5000 人參觀!See more 首都博物館)

呢到有好多不同的展覽,
首都文化, 佛教藝術, Pottery, 紅色展覽 AND MORE AND MORE,
但我已經睇過唔少佛教藝術 AND Pottery, 睇到...... 悶!!! 咁就SKIP 左呢一PART~

講到首都文化, 當然有四合院建築, 首都古時的生活文化,
我呢D 八婆仔, 對文化真係唔多了解, 都冇乜深度想去認識,
但去到呢個博物館, 見到中國嫁娶,
對結婚充滿憧憬的我, 當然進去看看!!

中國傳統以來的嫁娶, 女生一定要戴著好多飾物,

金手鐲, 金耳環, 金BLAH BLAH BLAH, 乜都係金!

我以前以為嫁娶的金飾物一定好嘔心, 咩金豬牌, 哇~ 嘔心到你!!!!

但係睇到呢個展覽, 

其實中國嫁娶很有傳統的美感, 一D 都唔"LEUNG"!!

女生戴呢D 金飾物一定很漂亮!

中國的手工藝品的精緻程度, 

我敢說一定是最世界所有國家中最高水平的!

耳環中雕花, 又或者金手鐲中再鑲玉, 

美得不行, 怎能不心動!?

旗袍中一針一線繡花再加上對顏色的配搭, 

更是精美. 

如果有一天我嫁出去的話, 

我一定要戴中國手飾, 穿中國旗袍! 

(但當然, DIAMOND RING 係必要~ 哈哈!!)

中國人對美感的追求很高, 

從古人類時代已替自己弄飾物, 把動物的牙串成項鍊.

到唐朝的唐三彩, 又去到清朝的青花陶器,

不禁會驚嘆中國藝術的演化. 

我們保留著細緻, 傳統以來特別的花紋, 

但又融合了西方又或是少數民族的色彩, 

這只有中方色彩才有. 

反觀現今的中國藝術, 

無錯我們好好的與西方藝術融合,

我們有很多紅色思想的油畫, 

有很多令我們反思中國政治的雕塑, 

都對當代文化有很深的影響. 

但我們好像忘了傳統的中國藝術......

那些細緻, 心機好像漸漸被遺忘...

時間行得太快, 

人們的耐心變得愈來愈少, 

再無心機花時間去搞細緻的藝術品. 

可惜可惜............ 

BTW 我希望將來愛我的人會知道我想要個怎樣的婚禮~ 哈哈哈!!!!!!

藝術。熱遊798

早幾日, 我們一行人傻傻仔仔咁熱遊798!
星期日去大山子的798真的人山人海咁濟,
千奇唔好諗住跟到D GUIDE BOOK 去搭巴士= =
你一定上唔到~ 打的算吧!!

呢到........可以話周圍都係藝術! WELL~
其實........我覺得ART 呢家野真係好抽象,
你話係咪係LOR=]=]~
但係得唔得到人認同又另一件事!!!

我諗佢都係ARTIST 泥~

企都企得特別型D~ 哈哈哈~

不過呢到真係有好多GRAFFITI !! 

真係可以感受到中西文化的融合=]

WELL~ 當然仲有好多SCULPTURES 啦=]
唔單只要看地上的,
空中都有!! 仲要係ENTIRELY NAKED 的天使~
佢太深奧, 我唔明點解係咁= =

呢到絕對係798 的精華所在~ 

原本係工廠泥, 10年革命時有好多人在這裡"工作"

呢個館入面乜都冇,

只得2部車床同幾句毛主席BLAH BLAH BLAH 的SLOGANS.

我已經按住POSTCARD 上的相泥影=]=] 

有時真係好ADORE 中國年青人D 思想, 

將紅色主義變成了中國近代藝術中重要的一環, 

簡單一句, 我深深明白到藝術, 商業,文化是不可分割的!

Yap, 有好多好藝術SCULPTURE~!!

不過, BEIJING PEOPLE 好多都唔會專程走去798. 

因為太前衛, 太商業.

他們說, 早幾年還可的, 

但近年多做遊客生意, 老外特別喜歡!!

藝術可觀程度大不如前, 

如去看藝術品, 倒不如去藝術館!! 

Umm.......我諗都係唔同STYLE 的ART 姐=] 

不過....... BEIJING 真的熱到不行....
泥緊仲要入伏!!
姐係會有好幾日特別熱!!!
